I've found several fiverrs that say they are US based and turn out to be Pakistan or Nigeria or some other such area. Not that they might be bad, but I really want someone close to our timezone and the mis-representations is frustrating.

The work I'm requesting is not really hard, just tedious. Like you, it's about outsourcing some things that are time consuming.

Maybe I should up my chatGPT prompt game and go that route.

I know I'm late to reply but this is where I've gotten most of my time saving done recently. Even for things that I know, if you prompt GPT properly I can save hours on those tasks. For example, if I need a quick outline to get a new presentation started I can prompt it to give me more information than it typically does by saying, "Provide me with an outline regarding topic XX. The outline should cover the regulations of XX at a minimum. You are to use your own knowledge with no placeholders."

That will typically save me about 2-4 hours of research on any given project. There are lots of time savers that GPT can do.

To your original point, the overseas accounts pretty much are 75% on Fiverr from what I see. Depending on what exactly you are trying to do, I understand why you are hesitant. To be fair, I'm a pretty trusting individual for those things. I paid people from Pakistan to write almost every paper for me when I went back to school to finish my BS. Always passed the plagiarism checker and always made a better grade than what I'd have made by spending 10 hours doing it.
